Hershey Nugget Purse Treat holder

 Here I go again, another little purse treat holder! Love this little one and it holds 2 Hershey Nugget chocolates!

This little gem measures 2” across and 1.5” wide and tall (minus the handle of course). Isn’t it adorable? I used the (retired) Tag Topper Punch since it made the pretty scallop AND the hole for the brad closure all at once. Here are the measurements of each part:

DSP 2” x 6”  (If your paper has a direction  to it,  be careful to punch so that your  image  is in the correct orientation to be the flap.)

Cardstock: 2”x1.5” (optional but I like the solid cardstock so that it emphasizes the print “flap”

Cardstock: 1.25x5” (this is the “wrap” for the Hershey Nuggets)

Cardstock: 1/4” x 7” (this is the handle)

Mini brad (or other closure mechanism)

Awl (to poke a hole for the brad)

I scored the DSP 2x6” DSP at 1.5”, 3”, 4.5” and 4.75”. Then I used the Tag Topper Punch on the 1.25” segment…which also took off and extra 1/4”. This left a 2x5.75” panel

I folded all the score lines then added the 2x1.5” cardstock to the front panel of the same dimensions.

Using my awl, I poked a hole through the purse “front”. To figure out where to make the hole, fold up the score lines to form the purse shape and see where the mini brad needs to be to latch the purse flap shut. Insert a mini brad in the hole and secure it.

I wrapped two Nuggets with the 1.25x5” cardstock and adhered it to the inside bottom of the purse

The handle got added into the 1/4” space. 

And that’s it…you’ve just created an adorable little chocolate purse! Thanks for stopping in…have a wonderful day!

Zany Zoo interactive flip or swing card

There's a new, super fun printed paper pack called Zoo Crew, with a corresponding stamp set (Zany Zoo) and dies too (Zany Zoo Dies). It has all sorts of cartoon like animals...a raccoon holding a bouquet of balloons, a llama sits knitting, the aardvark holding a gift, etc. I received a special order for a birthday card and decided to create this interactive "flip" or "swing" card... and this is how it turned out...

Now open the card and the message starts to "flip"...

Here's a partial view of the inside:

And here's in the inside fully opened, with room to sign the card and add a personal message. The adorable mini cupcakes are from an old retired set call Tasty Trucks and seemed to match the koala bear's juggling cupcakes perfectly!

I love making interactive cards like this...little ones and adults alike love the simple action of this card. 

The Zany Zoo paper pack is available online, as is the stamp and die sets that coordinate. The die set I used to create the card base however is an old old old Sizzix set and is no longer available. Let me know if you'd like to order the Zany Zoo paper pack, stamp set or corresponding dies online...I'm always happy to help with any questions...

thanks for stopping by. have a wonderful day!
